Turkey, Plucking Of

When plucking a turkey, or poultry of any kind, be careful to pull out the feathers in the direction in which they lie. If this point is not attended to, the skin may be torn and the appearance of the bird spoiled. After the bird is plucked, singe off the hairs with a lighted paper.
